Plant Care Needs:
• Sun Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
• Watering Frequency: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Typically requires watering every 1-2 weeks, depending on environmental conditions.
• Soil Requirements: Thrives in well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark is ideal.
• Temperature Requirements: Prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity Requirements: Enjoys moderate to high humidity levels (50-70%). Consider misting the leaves or placing the plant on a pebble tray to increase humidity.
• Propagation Methods: Easily propagated by stem cuttings in water or soil. Ensure cuttings have at least one node for successful growth.
• Care Difficulty: Easy. Suitable for both beginners and experienced plant parents.
• Additional Care Information:
• Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.
• Rotate the plant regularly to encourage even growth.
• Prune to shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth.
